So this stage of Prynne, very late, seems at times to shear off at every individual word, seems to demand a different angle of approach, that we are shifting our frame of reference constantly, which is fine, but what you are saying, and what I'm alert to is, we need to pay attention to larger thematic and structural patterning

Obviously words carry a lot more freight than sounds but I think it's a worthwhile comparison

This late stuff of prynnes I've really struggled with but I think I'm getting closer to ways of coping

when you think of this music, what's the first, archetypal work that comes to mind? if there is one. for me it's gesang der junglinge

(this is a question for anyone ITT too)

With this stuff all I really feel I can be bothered with is Bernard Parmesan. Like third said it gets to the point where I'm happy to listen to any old shit

But why don't we actually do a listen to this on Parmesan? Let's subject it to phemonological analysis

ill try later but for now:


actually if you haven't listened to it at all, even if you mostly hate this stuff, please just listen to the entire section from ~16:30 to 18:30, its amazing. describing music as "dreamlike" is maybe cliche, but I think this part realizes the strange emotions that the word conveys in a way very little music does. the dawning realization that something is out of place, and then the sense of the world falling away and impossible transformations occurring.

any thoughts? it's one of the last ones he did

Horrific nightmare bird shriek. Sometimes, you will know this mvuent being from the wilderness, when you are out late at night sometimes in the countryside you hear a bird shriek that you know is cursed and you have to leave that spot, it's not an earthly bird. I had that once warning me off a place I was going to sleep. Bloodcurdling

And the very visceral nearness of the knock on wood as against the unreal chatter, how physical and present it is
